His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)

Chapter 18

Nathaniel felt that way because he did not know anything that happened between Lily and Rebirthi.

Lily shook her head. “I didn’t.”

“That’s great. Since you didn’t sign a contract with La Beauté, we can still fix things.

They’re just manipulating you. I’m already kind enough not to sue Rebirth for slandering us.”

With a sigh of relief, Nathaniel patted Lily’s arin. “Lily, you are too naive to understand the complexity

and filth of the business field. It’s all for your good. We don’t want you to get involved in this

complicated stuff.”

“Let Mel and I deal with this matter for you. Now you can focus on producing perfumes. Don’t you love

making new scents? Wouldn’t it be great to do what you love?”

Lily looked at him. He gaslighted her all along, making her willing to do things for them without wanting

anything in return. Even now, they only wanted her to take the blame for everything. Still, they plausibly

said everything was for her good. Suppose she admitted that she stole formulas and wanted job

hopping now. She would be humiliated and could never continue in this industry for the rest of her life.

Nathaniel told Lily to do that because he wanted to protect MN Inc. and Melanie’s reputation and to

destroy Lily’s. If that happened, Lily would have no choice but to listen to Nathaniel no matter what.

It was all too good to be true! How calculative was he?!

“Is it possible for MN Inc. to recover as long as I admit my mistake? You won’t blame me, would you?”

Lily asked Nathaniel with a nervous expression on her face.

Nathaniel was satisfied. That was the Lily he knew all too well. She had always cared about his feelings

the most, so how could she betray him?

“Don’t worry. I know someone capable has influenced you, so you aren’t to blame. We should blame

those who are sinister and intentional,” Nathaniel said warmly while gently hugging Lily’s shoulders.

“It’s okay, don’t be afraid. Mel and I will accompany you during the press conference. It will be all right.

We’re here for you!”

Lily nodded, enduring the disgust and resentment in her heart. “I’ll let you guys handle it.” Melanie All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

looked at them with jealousy, wishing to pull them apart immediately. It was more important to look at

the bigger picture now, so she needed to bear with it for the time being.

When Lily left the office, Melanie finally released all her pent-up anger. “Are you fascinated by her?!

How could you believe everything she says?! Did you believe that Rebirth was the one who

manipulated her? How could they know our relationship? Why would they tell her?”

“It’s hard to say whether it’s Rebirth who told her about us, but she’s suspicious for sure.” Nathaniel

picked up the box of cigarettes on the table and took one out of it.

He lit it and smoked, narrowing his eyes. “It doesn’t matter. The most important thing now is to let the

issue cool down.”

“Hmph!” Melanie sneered and said, “Will she do as you say? Don’t forget how eloquent she was last

night and how she dominated the scene. Aren’t you afraid she will do it again during the press

conference?” Although Melanie thought Lily was a fool, she still felt something was off about the

situation. “She doesn’t dare!” Nathaniel shook his head, exhaling smoke. After a pause, he continued,

“Even if she does, I have countermeasures. Still, she is not that intelligent. What happened yesterday

may just be a misunderstanding.”
